Improving your local environment

How are communities shaping their local environment?

The fifth and final event of the Love your Environment learning cluster, will focus on how Big Local areas can address local issues such as litter, graffiti, disused spaces and shuttered shopfronts, and use them to bring people together, build local pride and improve people’s wellbeing.

Speakers will include people from the statutory bodies who could play a role when making improvements in your local environment, organisations with the skills and expertise to help you get your project started, and the community groups who are already doing it (including Big Local areas). As well as gathering practical tips and advice, the event offers an opportunity to learn more about how these enhancements can have positive impacts on health and wellbeing. As always, it will be a chance to share and network with Big Local areas, including those who are making changes to the environment right outside their front doors.
